This 2001 BMW M5 is finished in Alpine White over Caramel Heritage Nappa leather upholstery and is powered by a replacement 4.9-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a glass sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, 19″ alloy wheels, navigation, Park Distance Control, xenon headlights with washers, and front fog lights. Modifications include Bavarian Soundwerks speakers and a Dinan ECU tune, strut tower brace, mufflers, suspension components, and pedal covers. The car was first registered in Texas and spent time in Virginia, Maryland, and California before the seller’s acquisition and relocation back to Virginia in July 2015. Service completed within the past year is said to have included performing an oil change and replacing the accessory belts, tensioners, and pulleys along with the front lower control arms. This E39 M5 shows 118k miles and is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a Blackstone Laboratories oil analysis, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Alpine White 3 (300) with Shadowline window trim and features tri-color M pinstripes, a glass sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, xenon headlights, fog lights, and quad exhaust outlets. The seller states that the front bumper was repainted under previous ownership, and that the rear bumper was replaced in 2020. The bodywork and glass can be seen up close in the photo gallery below.
The car is fitted with aftermarket 19″ M Double Spoke-style wheels that are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires measuring 245/40 up front and 275/35 out back that were mounted in October 2019 according to the seller. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes assisted by BMW’s Dynamic Brake Control system. The seller states that the suspension has been modified with Dinan shocks and springs, and that the front lower control arms, bushings, and ball joints were replaced in 2020.
The interior features Caramel Nappa Heritage leather upholstery that extends from the heated and power-adjustable front seats to the dashboard, center console, rear seats, and door panel inserts. The seller states the front seats and center armrest have been reupholstered. Additional equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, navigation, a TEC cupholder, folding rear seats, Dinan alloy pedal covers, and a factory touchscreen stereo with aftermarket Bavarian Soundwerks speakers and a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer. Aftermarket sunshades for the rear window and door glass accompany the sale.
The M Sport steering wheel has reportedly been re-wrapped in leather and frames gray instrument dials including a tachometer with a variable redline, an M-branded 185-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 118k miles, approximately 17k of which were added by the seller.
Records indicate a replacement 4.9-liter S62 V8 engine was installed by a BMW dealer in 2007 when the car had approximately 38k miles, due to a mechanical over-rev that damaged a connecting rod on the original engine. Features include a Dinan Stage 1 tune and strut tower brace, and the seller states that an oil change was performed and the accessory belts, tensioners, and pulleys were replaced in 2020. The seller notes a power steering leak. A Blackstone Laboratories oil analysis report from October 2019 accompanies the sale and can be viewed in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and the seller states that Dinan mufflers have been installed.
Manufacturer’s literature and two keys will accompany the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Texas, Maryland, California, and Virginia.
